Give Me Thy Light Poem by Alexandrian Ink

Far in the desert land
Upon the desolated mountain
Oblivion of where I stand
Still futile my struggles gain.

Trudging upon my weary feet
In the dark dismal night
How the lark of break to meet
And see once even if a diming light.

Every moment these pains increase;
Of that which I have recklessly lost
And that nought could my soul ease
Even still, darkness tortures me the most.

How long will this last, how long?
I raised my eyes, fixing it straight above;
Lord relent, I know I have done you wrong,
Give me thy light; I'll pay thy wounded love.

Show me that road that you trod
I will gladly with my cross follow you
Since you are my only Lord and God;
Give me thy light and make me new.

For your love, you being the spotless lamb
Who for mankind you died to save
With your light, guide my back home
And I will be glad to be your slave.
